I'm pretty sure everyone at my job trust me and I (or anyone else for that matter) don't have enough access to wipeout a production DB on my own.
Why in frelling hell would they give full access to production to a LLM agent?

This is why vibe coding is a joke. It's also a great example of why education should be valued and why documentation/standards exist.
The company that lost their database was comfortable with using a high-risk process, whilst having garbage standards in place. Jokes on them.
yeah i don’t even know if this needs an apology. it’s almost as if Replit had previously recommended running their bot against production resources. honestly, if a company was like “oops we accidentally wiped your data cuz middle management wanted to LARP as engineering” that’s a blessing in disguise. i hope they lose all my data.
That sounds like something worth firing the CEO over.
Or worth suing for failure of his fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value. How does wiping out code maximize shareholder value?
The CEO will suffer a worse fate. He’s going to write an email about his very hard decision to lay off his staff (while accepting a bonus).
I don't see a need for replit for my purposes since they dropped the support for education they used to have.
